"Disney's princess needs to have more diverse personalities!" Yes true, sure, but also
Disney's first three Princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora) are all graceful, sweet, like singing songs about dreams and wishes, and do not actively fight: "omg they're such anti-feminist caricatures!!!"
Disney's next princesses have more established emotions and personalities, alongside the establishment of the "I Want" song as applied to motives outside of love (exploration, adventure, making their family proud): "OMG Ariel traded her voice for a man, how stupid!" "Belle's so stuck-up!" "Jasmine's just a spoiled brat!"
Tiana's a dedicated hard worker, loves her family a lot, and wants her loved ones to be very happy even at her own expense and gets... totally ignored in this conversation, gee I wonder why
Rapunzel, Anna, and now Asha are a little bit awkward, silly, but exuberant and get written off as "stupid adorkable" despite the other tenets of their personalities setting them apart, like Rapunzel's creativity, Anna's dedication to her family, and how Asha strives to help those around her
Moana gets called a disobedient brat for seeing beyond her father's narrow-mindedness
Disney Princesses have many wonderfully different personalities. It's just that people are dedicated to misinterpreting them, and that's why I never take the "Disney Princesses need more diverse personalities!" comment at face value.

Sometimes I see posts about how "I, Strahd" Tatyana has the personality of a cardboard but I don't think I agree honestly.
We only see her in very few scenes (all from Strahd's POV) and she's always very gentle and soft spoken.
Which makes completely sense since she was a lowborn orphan trying to make a good impression on her future brother in law, who is not only the ruler of the valley but also a feared war criminal. Of course she would try to be as nice as possible in front of him.
I also think that Strahd was extremely genuine in thinking he was in love with Tatyana, it's just that he never really knew her the way Sergei did. He only knew a facet.

my favorite aus are where cassie and tim meet as civilians before either of them reveal their identity to the group. there’s so much to work with there they both skateboard, they both strong arm their way into being heroes, parents with similar ish interests…
like obv they’re besties once they meet in the hero world and eventually both reveal their identities but it’s so fun to imagine tim putting the pieces together pretty quickly (like he did with bart because i love cassie but let’s be real that girl cannot have a secret identity she’s bad at it) and being like CASSIE??? MY SKATEBOARDING BESTIE?? and then once tim reveals his identity cassie is ready to murder him for not telling her sooner

yeah yeah yoohankim anyways yoohan. is frying my brain. han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk laying togwther and shes running her hand through his hair and encounters, at the back of the neck where the hair starts to grow out, a mole she didnt know he had. and she has to stop and take a minute to process the relief in finding a trait of his that she didnt give him. this man, whom she carved out of her own chest and pasted together piece by piece, having achieved such small, unknown personhood. and then hes like What is it whyd you stop petting me and shes like I suddenly realized how much I hate you and smacks him in the face and they have a fight that levels three buildings.
